Time to turn the page.

As we return from our summer holidays — what better feeling is there than the buzz of a new start? So why not make the most of these new-term vibes by investing in a beautiful diary. Our selection at The Royal Exchange features offerings from luxury brands Aspinal Of London, Montblanc and Fortnum & Mason — all perfect for setting yourself up for a year of success.

Aspinal Of London’s Leather Diary “brings a touch of luxury to your weekly planning.” These beautiful pieces — handbound here in England using the centuries-old techniques of the country’s bookbinding artisans — feature the finest full-grain leather, premium quality cream paper and edges with gold gilding. Outlaid in a week-to-view format, the planner contains hourly time slots for precision scheduling with a beautiful grosgrain ribbon to mark your place.

Keep the Olympic flame alive with the Montblanc Olympic Heritage Collection Paris 1924 notebook. In celebration of the Meisterstück centenary, this collection pays tribute to the origins of the renowned fountain pen. The result of thorough research and in-depth interviews with the Olympic Museum and the International Olympic Committee, this collection celebrates the history both of athletics and literature. With original artwork, the leather notebook sports the official colours of the Paris games — and is an Official Olympic Licensed Product.

Get organised with Fortnum & Mason’s luxury planner for an indulgent start to the new term. Designed and bound in the UK from top grain Eau de Nil leather, Fortnum’s buttery-soft 2025 desk diary is the perfect gift to keep a new year in order. The diary is printed in A5, week-to-view format. Best of all? Throughout the pages, you’ll find a collection of important foodie and game season dates, Fortnum’s anecdotes and plenty of space for addresses and invites.
